A research on i pad device & experience design
This document summarizes research on the iPad device and experience design. It discusses what the iPad is, how it differs from other devices like the iPhone and PC, and how people use the iPad in different environments and situations. It also covers opportunities and challenges for designing iPad apps, new UI elements like split view and popovers, and guidelines for iPad user experience design. Finally, it proposes a "CARS" strategy for a shopping app experience and includes an appendix of iPad development resources.

- 14. iPad Device Characteristics iPad’s new characteristics that have a significant impact on user interface: • A large screen size of 1024 x 768 pixels. • No default or user-expected orientation. • The option for users to plug in an external keyboard and use it in place of the onscreen keyboard. • The ability for users to dock the device.
- 15. iPad and iPhoneshare the following characteristics: • Memory is limited. • One application runs at a time. • Preferences are available in the Settings application. • Device orientation can change. • Onscreen user help is minimal and understated. • Applications respond to manual gestures, not mouse clicks. • Native, web-only, and hybrid software run on the device. • Artwork has a standard bit depth, specifically 24 bits (8 bits each for red, green, and blue), plus an 8-bit alpha channel. In general, the PNG format is recommended.
- 16. From iPhone Applicationto iPad Application • iPhone App runs on iPad: Awkward, Ugly and Impropriate; iPhone APP: XXXXXX • Need to be re-envisioned for iPad so that they take advantage of the larger screen
- 17. From iPhone Applicationto iPad Application： Native vs. iPhone iPhone APP: Amazon iPad APP: Amazon • For iPad, flipping the entire screen is not generally recommended, many utility applications need to change their interaction model.
- 18. Opportunities of BigScreen iPhone APP: XXXXXX • Less cluttered interfaces • More content viewable at a time APP: Amazon • Combine the content from separate iPhone screens into one screen on iPad. • Giving users more in-depth information about the task, get an expanded view on the same screen. • Give people more ways to interact with the content.
- 19. Challenges of BigScreen APP: Numbers • Tackle more complex actions/ tasks • More usable keyboard(than phone) • Distance between interface elements (tab bar to app header buttons) can reduce efficiency • Find-ability of buttons might be more troublesome • Low memorability; Accidental activation
- 20. New UI Elementsand Behaviors • Split view. • Popover. • Results list button. • Modal views have new presentation styles. • Toolbars can be in additional locations. • The edit menu can display custom items. • The keyboard view can be customized. • The keyboard view can include custom input accessories. • Custom text views can support text in multiple styles and offer advanced editing features.
- 21. Spilt-view Design Wish List Product Detail APP: Amazon Split view. You can use this iPad-only element to display more than one view onscreen at a time, such as to present data in a master-detail or source list–style arrangement. The split view is a common organizational element in iPad applications because it helps flatten the information hierarchy. Find out more about the ways you can use a split view in your application by reading “iPad User Experience Guidelines.” For usage guidelines, see “Split View.” Dev Reference： http://mobiforge.com/developing/story/developing-split-view-based-apps-ipad
- 22. Modal View APP: Mail APP: Amazon • Modal views have new presentation styles. You can use styles such as full screen, partial screen, and form to present a modal interface that’s more closely tailored to your application’s user experience and visual design. (For usage guidelines, see “Modal View.”)
- 23. Popover Contextual Popover APP: Amazon • You can use this iPad-only view to temporarily display additional information, controls, or choices related to content in the main view. The main benefit of the popover is that it can contain information or choices that don’t need to be in the main interface all the time. To find out more about some of the ways you can use a popover, see “Use Popovers to Perform Some Modal Tasks.” For usage guidelines, see “Popover.”
- 24. Results list button Better Information Discovery • You can use this system-provided button to reveal search results from a search bar. (For usage guidelines, see “Search Bar.”)
- 25. New keyboard features May improve the efficiency & experience when filling in a form. APP: Numbers • The keyboard view can be customized. You can replace the system-provided keyboard view with a custom view that contains custom buttons. (For usage guidelines, see “Keyboard Customization.”) • The keyboard view can include custom input accessories. You can supply a separate view of auxiliary keyboard controls that users can tap to input application-defined content.
